Friars Minor Capuchin

The Friars Minor Capuchin are a Catholic religious order founded in the 16th century, part of the Franciscan family. They focus on living simply, embracing austerity, and serving the poor through prayer, community life, and active ministry. Distinctively, they wear a simple brown habit with a hood (cappuccio) and seek to imitate Jesus Christ’s humility and poverty. Their mission emphasizes evangelization, social justice, and helping marginalized populations, aiming to live the Gospel intensely while fostering renewal within the Church.
